Shakiyla was soo wonderful and helpful throughout this whole process. This was a last minute effort to find where my dog could board for a couple days and she was so flexible with me and really helpful. I’m so grateful and glad it worked out.

This has been my best rover ever! Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I needed to change my drop off and pick up time and she was very adaptable. Everyday I received meaningful updates with videos and pictures. I think I found a permanent dog sitter!

Shakiyla did an excellent job watching our giant schnauzer puppy. He had plenty of activity throughout the day! I will rebook her again!

Shakiyla was the perfect choice! I randomly had a last min trip that I needed to make and Shakiyla answered within minutes of my inquiry. She has such a sweet and calming demeanor and my dogs immediately took to her. Her responsiveness and immediate updates gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. We’ll definitely be back!

Schedule

Pet care is part of my everyday life. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility! My own Rottweilers are on a consistent schedule, so it’s natural for me to fold guest pets right into that routine. Each day includes morning walks, feeding, supervised play, and crate rotations for safety, along with plenty of affection and downtime.

Safety, trust & environment

I make safety, trust, and comfort the focus of every stay. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, spacious environment with constant supervision, plenty of enrichment, and clean, cozy areas for rest and play. Whether calm and quiet or high energy and active, your pet will be safe and secure with me!

A typical day

A typical day starts with a 1–2 mile walk to get everyone moving, followed by breakfast. After eating, dogs are free to roam and play, with crate rotations throughout the day to keep everyone safe and comfortable. In the evening, we have dinner and another walk before settling in for the night. For safety, all dogs are crated at bedtime so they can rest peacefully and securely.

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn about their personality, routine, and any special needs so I can make them feel right at home. This includes their health (medical conditions, medications, allergies, or diet), behavior (how they do with other pets and any fears or triggers), daily routine (feeding, exercise, and favorite activities), training (commands they know or areas we should keep consistent), and any extra care they might need, like for puppies or seniors. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
